frag tank lights

I recently ordered a 24 x 24 X 6 frag tank
I'm debating between leds and t5s
Does anybody have something they'd recommend that would work with my setup

I don't know if you've ever heard of taotronics but the ebay knockoffs are what I have over my DT and the growth, color, and quality is amazing. I trust them so much that i'm ordering a pair for my frag tank.

If money isn't a question though, i'd go with a high quality LED.

Here's what I'm talking about. One covers a 24x24 radius so it'll be perfect for you.

I put an ATI 4 bulb power module no dimmable with reef brite strip over mine. I like it. Gives good coverage.

What kind of lights are you running over your display? Is there a version that fits your frag, or a light with a highly comparable output.

I run the same lights over my display and frag tank so there is no light acclimation requirements, or coral changes, when moving coral between them.
